From Forbes:

Start Spreading The News, New Yorkers Are Leaving Today

Armando Codina is an unhappy New Yorker. So unhappy, in fact, he created a website about it to find more like minds. Now, no longer alone, he is a very happy Floridian.

“New Yorkers used to come to Florida to buy a second home. Now they are coming down here to live,” he says.

And that is the fucking problem.

In a nutshell, New York, especially New York City has been hit by just a perfect shit storm of disasters.

High taxes, an obscene cost of living, the destruction of the George Floyd riots after the NYPD handled the rioters with kid gloves, the lockdown, the COVID death rate,  the awful policies of Cuomo and de Blasio, all the news from New York shows that it’s just a shithole.  An expensive shithole.

Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, on the other hand, no riots, low COVID deaths, low taxes, and compared to NYC, a lower cost of living.

But we all know that the New Yorkers who move to South Florida to get away from the filthy, expensive, shithole of NYC are going to vote for the exact same bullshit that made them flee NYC in the first place.

Not to mention that New Yorkers have burned up all the good will they had since 9/11.

If Floridians barricaded I-95 and the border and had vigilante squads checking IDs and beating up New Yorkers trying to enter the state, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Frankly, I don’t think anybody else wants New Yorkers to move to their state either.

I think it is about time to go all John Carpenter on New York and just build a containment wall around the city and never let anyone out.

In my day, at least we used the Drive-In and we weren’t even doctors.

I understand why the Fire truck stopped. Fire Stations are wide open to attack and the firemen cannot defend themselves.

And I admit freely that I am savoring a nice cup of Schadenfreude at the misery of the CNN crew and loss of equipment the company suffered. The Media has had no problem stoking the fires, but they feel they will be spared of the collective burn.

And it is specially stupid from CNN after the warning the had not too long ago:

Found on Twitter: “I’ve never before seen an image encapsulate a cause with this much accuracy. Truly amazing.”

I am to the pint that they were posing, but the message that is being portrayed is not what they think they were expecting.

Hat Tip Sarah C.

” and replace the law enforcement agency with “a community-led public safety system.””

It’s Official: Minneapolis City Council Votes Unanimously to Abolish Police

So what happens when these new Community-Led Public Safety individuals get sued for violations of Civil Rights? And I mean rightfully or wrongfully, Who is gonna cover the costs?

Or are they going to be scrutinized in a different form, not just like everybody else and perhaps give them some protection above to what is given to the regular citizen?

You say it.. 🙂

The Hopefully-Soon-T0-Be-Defunct Miami Herald has increased its attacks against Governor DeSantis about the increasing number of Wuhan cases detected. Out of the gate they dismiss the increasing amount of testing sites and people taking the tests saying that it is only a small part of the overall reason. Huh? If testing it is not done, how the flock of seagulls do you get  results anyway? Is this a variation of the  Chinese government statistical reports?
Carrying on.

Now, get this: They love to cite the Florida Gov provided numbers about new cases to “prove” their point, but if you asked them about the real and final accountability number, deaths, they suddenly go “Oh you can’t trust the data that DeSantis is putting out.”

Using the same source, the Florida Department of Health, the numbers a top (new cases) are true and indication DeSantis fucked up and he and the Republicans do not care for people. But the stats at the bottom (deaths by day) are totally untrustworthy because they come from the Florida Department of Health.

I need more coffee.
